Interroll is one of the world‘s leading manufacturers of key products for unit loadhandling systems, internal logistics and automation. These solutions are used primarily within the area of food processing, airport logistics,postal services, distribution and in varioussegments of industry. The products include easy-to-integrate drivesolutions such as drum motors for belt conveyors, DC-powered and non-poweredrollers for conveyor systems; energy-efficientflow storage modules for compact pallet/container racking systems in distributioncentres; crossbelt sorters, belt curves andother user-friendly conveyor modules forcost-efficient material flow systems. Interroll serves more than 23,000 customers,mainly regional plant manufacturers and engineering specialists as well as system integrators, multinational companies and users. Interroll has 1,500 employees working in 28 companies and is listed on the SIX SwissExchange.

If you are operating a warehouse with conventional pallet racking and a fastthroughput of stock, Interroll Pallet RollerFlow storage provides you the right solutionto achieve increased efficiencies, such as:

• Space saving - maximises available storage area by reducing the number ofaisles

• Faster throughput of stock with minimumhandling – as goods move automaticallyfrom the loading face to the order picking

Interroll Pallet Roller Flow storage systemsare installed in many storage applicationsand distribution centres, including ambient,chilled and cold store environments down to -28°C. The undisputed benefits are widely acknowl-edged providing one of the most compactforms of storage, requiring minimum handling, and offering guaranteed FIFOorder picking and accurate stock rotation –resulting in many potential increased efficiencies. Interroll’s dynamic pallet flow storage solu-tions are compatible with all major rackingsystems, world wide, and we are here tohelp you explore the potential of introducingthis pallet live storage system into your logis-tics supply chain. Whether you are distributing, buffering orstoring, Interroll has the right solution to improve your efficiencies with a typical returnon investment of less than two years.

• Accurate stock rotation using FIFO (First-In-First-Out) principles reduces wasteof fresh and date sensitive products

• Shorter travel times increase order pickingefficiencies and improve productivity

• Separate loading and order picking aislesensure safe flow of vehicles and personnel

• A reduction of energy consumption

INTERROLL PROFILE

WHY IS FLOW STORAGETHE R IGHT SOLUTION?

“The FIFO principle, coupledwith Interroll’s proven mechan -ical, dynamic storage solutionwith no energy consumption,and, equally, the compact,space-saving design that drastically reduces our order picking lines are what make this system so attractive.”

Features and Benefits• Versatility in handling pallets of various

sizes and weights • Reliability of system – operated by gravity

and not effected by power failure. Maintenance is minimal

• Incorporates proven safety features• Quality Assurance – covered by 5 years

comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty • Compatibility – system interfaces with most

handling devices, e.g. counter balancetrucks, reach trucks, stackers, transfer cars,stacker cranes

• Assured continuity of product supply –enables future system changes and extensions

Intermediate moduleFor the storage of two pallets. One speed controller per pallet positionis included in every module to ensuresmooth transport of the pallets.

... by improving your warehouse’s productivity Generally, storage costs consist of 40% logistic costs and 7% product costs. Thus, monitoring of the overhead costs of operating a warehouse is a very criticalpart of management. Crucial factors are:

• Interest on stock value• Depreciation and loss in value• Warehouse operational costs (lighting,

heating, refrigeration, vehicle usage, etc.)• Time period for amortisation of the storage

system

... by increasing your storage capacity A Pallet Roller Flow installation maximisesthe use of available warehouse space by requiring only two aisles for the purpose of loading the system and order picking. The system is therefore more compact than conventional racking and can save, on average, up to 50% of floor space. Moreover, picking from much shorter andcondensed picking aisle saves an averageof 70 % in travel distances.

... by increasing your warehouse’s efficiency Picking from only one aisle simplifies location and visual identification of palletloads, minimises order picking errors and reduces travelling time. Therefore, this layout contributes to significant savings in handling times and creates opportunities to reduce energy costs. FIFO stock rotation has a decisive influence on the overall cost per pallet position and optimises stock rotation and value.Ancillary technologies can be successfullyintroduced and aid in picking accuracy such as pick to light, counting scales, bar code scanners and RFID systems.Increased staff safety and vehicle efficiencies are achieved as loaders and order pickers function in separate aisles with aisles avoiding traffic flow disrupting the individual operations.

“Interroll flow storage has dramatically increased efficiencyand operational safety, even atbusy handling times.”

Peter Dippel, Managing Director,Rema Tec

“The quality of Interroll dynamicstorage solutions is so high thatwe decided to try a pre-owned installation, which proved a wisedecision. It propelled our pickingper formance upwards. Our 24-hour delivery promise for spares requires minimalthroughput times, which weachieve through our flow storagesolution from Interroll – it’s justperfect.”

20 secondsdelay whenpallet is lifted

Time Plus separator functionalityOn lifting the first pallet to remove from theorder picking face, there is a 20 seconddelay before the separation device releasesthe next pallet in line. This gives the forklift truck driver all the necessary time to unload the pallet safely

before the second pallet is released. As a result of the pedal-less system, there is no longer pallet lift up height restriction forthe truck driver, which is especially crucialand useful, for the forklift truck driver, whenworking at high levels with restricted visibility.

Optimised separator end stopInterroll has developed different separatorsolutions that can be combined with the“ time plus” function.

Regular separators – up to 12 tonnes in accumulation

Heavy duty (option)

Regular (standard)

No pressure Pressure

Safety separator function The pressure of the accumulated pallets onthe separator stop device is not transferredto the pedal device. There is no risk that thepedal at the unloading side lifts up.This ensures safety in operation even withlight pallets on the pedal system and

generally ensures the separating devicefunctions reliably and requires minimummaintenance.Due to the separator stop device, the accu-mulated pallets cannot be released until the leading pallet is removed.
